From the desk of the President of the Society For AIDS in Africa ( SAA) Dear Friends, Partners and Colleagues, It is time for a change “One of the marvelous work of nature is “change” and Nature has been programmed in such a way that “change” is inevitable. Changes allow for rejuvenation, innovation, adjustment, and continuity all at the same time.” It is time to inject new blood into SAA Ruling Council. For the past 2 decades, 11 eminent African scientists have been at the helms of affairs in the running of the Society for AIDS in Africa. Now, it is time to change the leadership of SAA. Virtually all the current 11 Council members were the founding members of the Society for AIDS in Africa and they had all contributed not only to the growth of the society, but also to African responses to the global HIV and AIDS issues. The Society for AIDS in Africa is committed to advancing knowledge through research, as well as to mitigating the impact of HIV in the continent through innovative responses at all levels. |
